Carmabi: nature conservation essential for post-covid economic recovery

Local | By Correspondent July 18, 2020

WILLEMSTAD - Carmabi is surprised that nature conservation is not part of the corona support from the Netherlands.

According to the conservationists, there is a direct relationship with tourism and the economy. For example, it has been calculated that Curaçao will lose nearly $ 400 million in tourism income if coral reefs disappear.

CARMABI appeals to the Dutch government and that of the six islands to include nature and protection in their financial support packages.
